Wednesday 29th July at Live-Streamed Stripped Back Performance + Q&A and Production Tutorial
PLEASE NOTE: you'll need a Banquet account to access this stream, so please be sure you're registered and signed in before you place your order. This event is open to UK customers only. ----- Celebrating the release of their third full length album titled Dreamland, the ever-excellent electro-indie-poppers Glass Animals link up for a livestreamed session with a Q&A AND production tutorial! This is a limited-numbers event (/300). “The idea for this album came at a time of confusion and uncertainty. My best friend was in the hospital. I didn’t know if he’d make it. The future was damn scary and completely unknown. During those weeks in the hospital, it was so difficult to look forwards that I found myself looking backwards. Digging around in my mind, pulling up old memories, finding comfort in them even if they were uncomfortable in themselves.” Speaking to friends and family, I’ve realised that a lot of people are experiencing a similar sort of confusion now. Everything that we thought we could see clearly in front of us has been thrown into the air, and all the while, we can’t be out finding our footing. We can’t be out creating new memories, so…we’re diving back head-first into the old ones. I hear that in conversations. I see it in what people are watching on TV. In what we’re listening to. In what we’re eating. In dreams. Submit questions / shout outs / messages in advance via the comments box in the checkout. 7:00pm start (BST) Access details will be sent 20 minutes before the event.

Rhys Lewis
Tuesday 14th July at Zoom Session, 7:00pm

Following the release of his new album titled 'Things I Chose To Remember', Rhys Lewis links up for a Zoom Session, streamed from in the shop. This is a limited-numbers event (/300).
The desire to be present is at the root of Things I Chose To Remember’s emotional heft. Lewis recorded the album on analogue tape, a rare and expensive process that’s barely been used since the early ‘80s. This process comes with both limitations and joys, for instance, it’s common to have over 100 individual tracks in a contemporary pop song. Yet with his 24-track tape machine Lewis limited himself to just two-dozen. “Everything had to earn its place,” he says. “We worked the songs and the productions much harder, and I think we questioned things much more because of it.

Phoebe Bridgers
Saturday 27th June at Zoom Session, 7:00pm

To celebrate the release of her critically acclaimed second full length titled Punisher, the ever excellent Phoebe Bridgers links up for a special Zoom session. This is a limited-numbers event (/300).
Phoebe Bridgers doesn’t write love songs as much as songs about the impact love can have on our lives, personalities, and priorities. Punisher, her fourth release and second solo album, is concerned with that subject. To say she writes about heartbreak is to undersell her blue wisdom, to say she writes about pain erases all the strange joy her music emanates. The arrival of Punisher cements Phoebe Bridgers as one of the most clever, tender and prolific songwriters of our era. Bridgers is the rare artist with enough humor to deconstruct her own meteoric rise. Repeatedly praised by publications like The New Yorker, The New York Times, GQ, Pitchfork, The Fader, The Los Angeles Times and countless others, Bridgers herself is more interested in discussing topics on Twitter, deadpanning meditations on the humiliating process of being a person, she presents a sweetly funny flipside to the strikingly sad songs she writes. Fittingly, Punisher is fascinated with, and driven by, that kind of impossible tension. Whether it’s writing tweets or songs, Bridgers’s singular talent lies in bringing fierce curiosity to slimy and painful things, interrogating them until they yield up answers that are beautiful and absurd, or faithfully reporting the reality that, sometimes, they are neither.
On the album’s epic, freewheeling closer, “I Know The End,” Bridgers orchestrates wails and horns, drums and electric guitar into a sumptuous doomsday swirl, culminating in her own final whispered roar. This is Punisher in a nutshell: devastating elegance punctuated by a moment of deeply campy self-awareness

Mystery Jets
Friday 26th June at live performance and Q&A, 7:00pm
Celebrating the physical release of their new album, (Blaine and Jack of) Mystery Jets visit the shop to livestream a session with a Q&A. This is a limited-numbers event (/300).
The sixth full length from the amazing indie-rockers is titled A Billion Heartbeats and sees the band leaning towards politically driven themes, whilst still retaining their infectious and melodic anthems.
All great albums start from a unique perspective. But try a window on the Strand, in an abandoned office block, overlooking the kind of political upheaval London hasn't seen in a generation. Blaine Harrison was living as a property guardian right around the corner from Trafalgar Square when he found himself witness to an entire year of protests. Every weekend from January 2017 on, people were marching for a different cause: "In the space of six months it was Black Lives Matter, the huge ‘Our NHS' march, Unite for Europe," he recalls. "Then the solidarity sleep-out organised by Help Refugees, where we slept in Whitehall for the night... The protestors would wake me up in the morning. I'd just walk down and join in."
